Marshall, who will be honored in front of the school board Tuesday night, was recently chosen as 2008-09 Wachovia Principal of the Year by Thomasville City Schools officials. The program is sponsored by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, the Principal's Executive Program, the Center for School Leadership Development and the Wachovia Corporation.
"It's an honor, especially, this late in my career," Marshall said. "It means that I'm being recognized if nothing else but for putting forth a great effort for children."
As a first-generation college student in her family, Marshall said her parents emphasized the importance of education.
When attending Bennett College in the 1970s, a faculty member sparked her desire to pursue a career in education. She said a student-teaching experience at Hunter Elementary School in Guilford County solidified the career direction she wanted to go in.
Marshall took her first full-time teaching job in Grand Rapids, Mich., where she was an elementary school teacher for seven years. She then spent 20 years as an educator in Guilford County Schools, where she was a teacher, assistant principal, principal and director of elementary achievement. Along the way, she won numerous teacher of the year awards.
In 1998, she decided to leave education to spend more time with her husband, Dannie, and their children. After working jobs that were not in the education field, she decided to teach once again for Danville Public Schools in Virginia. She was hired as an assistant principal at Thomasville Middle School in 2001 and in 2006 replaced Keith Tobin, who is now the superintendent of the school system, as principal of the middle school.
"She's done a great job at the middle school as far as getting people to buy into the fact we are here for these students," Tobin said, "and we need to actively engage them in teaching skills that are necessary for them to be successful in life."
Rose Slack, a Thomasville Middle School teacher, said Marshall is a very strong administrator.
"The one thing that impressed me so much about her is, when in assemblies, you have more than 600 students. When she walks to the microphone on the stage and asks for attention it goes hush," Slack said. "You don't hear talking and laughing. Students sit up in their seats and pay attention. She has earned their respect."
Marshall will move on to compete with award recipients from other counties and will have a to complete a portfolio showcasing her achievements. The 2008-09 Principal of the Year will get $3,000 for the school and $3,000 for personal use. The winner will be announced April 2009.
